DESCRIPTIVE WRITING 2
It was on a Sunday 13th December, after a hard day’s work. I thought of nothing else to
refresh my mind other than taking a position along river Torrens bank. Health experts
recommend walking since it breaks the monotony and refreshes our senses. Nature walk rewards
most and is the best since they are free from pollution and interruptions from human activity.
Open air circulation and the beauty of nature has no example since it provides an exquisite
pleasure and satisfaction. The sight of the river Torrens has a peculiar peaceful effect upon my
mind; every sight and sound inspires a spirit of rest and peacefulness.
I had a delightful time walking along the bank of river Torrens I enjoyed the rippling
surface of the water, the fish playing here and there, the birds singing their lovely songs in the
trees. The calmness in the bank is like that from a deserted cemetery. The noise from the city is
heard from a far distance, and people walking around here are those seeking calmness too. The
nature in this place is quite. I looked for a place to sit down and relieve my mind out of pressure
from assignments and classwork. Once I was sited at the bottom of a tree, a bird gave me some
company and landed on that tree. It began to sing a melodious song which made me wonder how
did it know that I needed some natural refreshment. It was a relief to escape the noises from the
city square.
I enjoyed especially the beauty of the sunset over the River Torrens. The spectacular
sight presented by the setting sun as it sunk beneath the surface of the water. This is one of the
most charming views of an evening walk by the riverside. Brilliant colours light up the clouds at
the western horizon, the manifestation presented to the eyes is full of splendour and calm beauty.
For some time after the sun has set, the sky is filled with thousands of delicate tints which charm
the eye and please the heart. Then the stars begin to appear, and the day finally gives place to
night.

I returned full of impressions, rich and vivid, gathered during my walk by the riverside. I
realized how glorious were the beauties of nature and how rich her delights. Whenever I want
some peace of mind and heart, I will not hesitate to visit the site and enjoy the gift from nature.
